Good news guys – this weeks Pugneys session is now back on as we have managed to find cover.

Normal times – We have booked the sun again as well.

Looks like we are back in business this Saturday, we have managed to get cover for the session so back on as normal.

12.30pm at the container for 1pm on the water.

Normal sessions next week onwards.

Unfortunately due to no cover this Saturday we are having to cancel the Pugneys session.

Sorry about this but we cant run the session unless we have adequate cover or we run the risk of loosing the use of the lake.

We could look at running a session at Pugneys on Sunday morning if there was enough interest or we could look at a local river trip.

Please let us know if you would be interested in either of the above via feedback here or on Facebook and we will look to organise something.

Good evening, summer is upon us and we have some changes to pool sessions:

Pontefract has been low on numbers for the last few weeks with the club having to support the sessions so we have taken the decision to close Pontefract for the summer with the last session being this Thursday 26th with a planned return on Thursday 6th September.

Batley is running well at the moment with the cadets making up numbers so Batley Friday sessions will continue throughout the summer. All participants from Pontefract are welcome to come along to the sessions at Batley.

We will look to run some local beginners river trips on Thursday nights if members are interested.

Pugneys sessions are running well with a wide range of people attending including several new members who are attending due to the closure of Pugneys lake to the general public.

We have had a few sessions where we have had a few stand up paddle boards and this has gone down well also.

West Yorkshire Canoe Club’s annual Washburn event is fast approaching.

This is a chance for members to paddle one of Yorkshires best whitewater river runs. This is a dam release so the water level is guaranteed however little rain we have had.

Any club members who have a few hours spare on the day will be welcome to come along and lend a hand throughout the day.

The river is fast flowing grade 2/3 so not suitable for novices but any members who feel they would like to paddle please have a chat with a member of the committee to ensure suitability.

After much uncertainty surrounding Pugney’s we have finally got the go ahead to begin our summer sessions this week Saturday 21st April.

Weather looking good for tomorrow.

Meet at 12.30pm at the green container to be on the water for 1pm.

Looking forward to a good turn out.

Please come along and support your club.

Some of our members have been competing in slalom over the last few weeks – keep up the good work.

Andy C, Olivia, Russ, Grace, Fraser, Liz and Aaron – well done guys.

Below we have some photos from the last couple of weeks races. And evidence of Russ’s obligatory swim 🙂

Congratulations to Grace who was promoted last week to Div 3 – well done.

Just a quick note to say the session tomorrow night at Pontefract is cancelled. 

This is due to a pump that has failed resulting in an empty pool.

Why not come along to Batley session on Friday night instead?

Normal sessions resume next week hopefully.

Quick note to say the Batley Friday night session this week is cancelled due to Easter holidays. Back to normal the following week.
